Mind Your Manners

The youth were packed in like sardines!

We pack as many as will fit in the cab and away we go, up, down, around and through the streets of Castries. The youth are laughing, talking up a storm and screaming from pain when we go over a speed "HUMP" as they call it here. This is right after Mutual where we had a "Mind Your Manners" activity. The youth did role plays on Church Etiquette, Dating Etiquette and Table Manners. It was great fun to have the youth participate and we all learned how to behave a little better!

The Teddy's

I posted this picture on a previous email, but I wanted to give you an update. The Elders found, taught and baptized this family all in two weeks. The mother, Mary, has not been to church since she was baptized, she works most Sundays. The oldest daughter, Issha, has only been to church a couple of times. Ted, Teddisha, and Teddianne are there every week, and also attend Mutual and Book of Mormon Class. They live in the ghetto, in a tiny shack, and yet they show up at the church, cleaned up and looking great. These three teenagers are amazing! AT first they would not say a word, but they have warmed up and now are very talkative. They are sweet and always give us a big hug when we meet.
